INGREDIENTS

1 loaf (1 pound each) frozen bread dough PAM® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt's® Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano, well drained 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1/2 cup = 2 oz) 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup = 2 oz)

PREPARATION:

1. Thaw bread dough according to package directions. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
2. Pat out dough into 12x10-inch rectangle on prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil; sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Spoon tomatoes lengthwise down center third of dough; sprinkle evenly with Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Fold long sides of dough over filling; press seams together to seal. Using sharp knife, cut 3 diagonal slices, about 2 inches apart, in top of dough, cutting only through first layer of dough. Repeat with second set of cuts in opposite direction, criss-crossing first cuts, to form diamond pattern.
3. Bake 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool slightly. Cut into 12 slices to serve.
